Arrival of the British Whale- back Progressist From England. Visitors Will Be Admitted on Board the Olympla and Phila- delphia To-Day. The steamer Progressist, Pinkham mas- ter, another whaleback, arrived yesterday, 67 days from Sunderland, England, with 3000 tons of coal for Dunsmuir& Son. She is the British idea of a whaleback and Everett. Her principal feature is her ap- pearance above the loadline, below which she looks like an ordinary steamer. The vessel has no sheer, her surplus buoyancy being provided for without the upspringing of the hull fore and aft. She is provided with three decks, the upper or weather deck being protected from the seas forward by a raised bow and a turtle- differs materially from he Wetmore and | management of the Oregon Improvement Company he immediately went to work on the construction of coal-bunkers at the foot of Beale street, in close proximity to the company’s yard. In 1887, about the time the patent on the Roberts hopper was to expire, suit was instituted against the Oregon Improvement Company for in- fringement of patent. The action was brought by the Excelsior Company, the backers of Roberts, and Judge Sabin ren- dered judgment against the local concern for $7500. ““‘We took an appeal to the United States Supreme Court,” said Mr. Howard yester- day, “and gota new trial before Judge McKenna, who also decided against us. Our counsel asked for a rehearing on the ground that the court labored under a mis- conception of the two machines and on the second hearing Judge McKenna decided in our favor. Roberts appealed to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals, and the higher tribunal decided on Thursday in our favor. Roberts had also begun action against the Black Diamond Coal Company | and obtained judgment in the lower court. The case was appealed to the United States Supreme Court, where the validity of the atent was attacked, and the Jourt decided that Roberts’ machine was not protected by the patent at all as there had been many changes in the original | machine. It was mainly on this de | cision that we won our case, and Roberts waited till the last minute before commenc- ing his suit to enable him to run his | elaim up into the thousands. Had he won | his suit it would have meanta large loss | to the coal men on the coast.” —————o—— Death of a German Physician. Dr. E.

Anna Shaw Discuss His Statements. WRONG ABOUT THE CENSUS, They Say the Doctor Would Surely Starve Women Into Matrimony, Miss Susan B. Anthony and Rev. Anna Shaw have hesitated about replying to the strictures of Dr. Fitch on the new woman. They have scarcely thought that the man who, in Miss Shaw’s own words, ‘“has never seen us, does not read what we say, and yet knows all about us,” was worth {heir serious attention. Last night, however, they decided to answer a few of the chairman of the liter- ary committee’s representations of the new woman question. “I have no intention of being drawn into a controversy with such a man as Dr. Fitch,” said Miss Susan B.

It is at the bow where she differs most | from the Everett, whose under sloping stem points up in the air like a sled run- ner. The English craft has the decidedly English cut, stem perpendicular from the forefoot to the highest point. She hasan entire double bottom on the cellular sys- tem, and with specially subdivided tanks at the after end, so that without any dan- RET to the vessel water can be admitted for ballast when the consumption of coal lightens the steamer.

It is thought that the Fed- eral anthorities will not carry the matter to the United States Supreme Court. The Santa Fe Railway Company will move its passenger officés from ‘the Chronicle building to an office on Market street, near Kearny, and its old ticket office will be taken by thé San Franciseo and North Pacific Company. The new British whaleback steamer Progrese-, 1st arrived yesterday, sixty-seven days from Sunderland, England. She is of different build from the American idea of & whaleback, and in some respects an improvement over the latter. The bimetallists executive committee met yesterday in the Mills building and decided to subdivide the general committee for conven- tion work. The recent convention call was ordered printed in pamphiet form for general dfstribution. Many of the poor stockholders in the Hale & Noreross mine are becoming desperate over the delay of the Supreme Court in rendering a de- cision confirming or reversing the lower court.

AVCTORY FOR COL W, End of a Famous Patent Hop- per Litigation Involving Thousands. The Appelate Court Decldes in Fa« vor of the Oregon Improvement Company. On last Thursday the United States Cir- cuit Court of Appeals rendered a very im- portant decision bearing on the coal com- panies doing business in the City. The title of the suit was the Excelsior Coal Company versus the Oregon Improvement Company, 2nd the judgment of the higher court ended a litigation of eight years. The Chronicle stated that the decision was in favor of the plaintiff, and the coal men bhave been considerably exercised over the report. This was a mistake, the decision being entirely in favor of the Oregon Im- provement Company, and - virtually knocked ont all patent rights of the Rob- erts’ hopper. John L, Howard, manager of the Oregon Improvement Company, was asked yester- day what effect the decision would have on coal companies, and then it was learned, for the first time, that the decision was in favor of the coal men. Had it been other- wise it would have meant the loss of thousands of dollars to the Oregon Im- provement Company, the Black Diamond Company, J. Rosenfeld’s Sonsand A. Duns- muir & Sons. Mart# R.

ANNEX, The Park Commissioners Have Decided to Erect a New Building. | e | Valuable Collections Refused Be- cause the Present Structure Is | Already Occupied. The Park Museum is to have an annex. This has been definitely decided by the | Park Commissioners, who have come to | | the conclusion that more room is an abso- | Jute necessity. The main building is sponse to the Commissioners’ call for | donations issued several months since. | Beveral days ago a wealthy recident of this City, whose name the Park people are not at liberty to disclose at present, offered a very fine collection of oil paintings for exhibition, which has been gathered from the best galleries of Europe during the past twelve years. At first he intended to let the collection go to the Hopkins Art | Institute, but afterward changed his mind |in favor of a locatfon where the people | could have the benefit of his collection. | He visited the museum and the lack of | room where the pictures would show to | good advantage was at once apparent. The matter was brought to the attention of Irving M. Scott, and he in turn laid it before the other Commissioners, with the | result as announced. No plans have yet been aecided upon, and the work cannot { be commenced until the Commissioners ?“ their next appropriation, as the old und is about exhausted. When the new structure has been completed the ex- hibits throughout will be rearranged. At the present time there is a noticeable lack of order in the assignment of the different collections, due primarily to limited space. For exnmp]lzz, extensive | samples of California products occupy a room with the natural history exhibits. | It is the idea of the Commissioners to | keep the departments separate and ex- clusively for collections belonging to that department. A case in int occurred yesterday. Mrs. Oscar Edlhard, a former resident of | 8an Francisco, now living at Guadalajara, Mexico, sent to the museum a valuable collection of Toltec and Aztec idols. The | collection numbers 100 images in stone, the former taken from the ruins at Soldad, in the State of Vera Cruz, and the latter from the former site of an Aztec temple at Otumba, thirty-flve miles from the City of Mexico. Forlack of space this collection has been set up in the Spanish room, which already contains a great man things in no way connected with Spanis! history. The most valuable collection of Alaska relics in existence is owned by the Alaska Commercial Corapany of this City. These relics have been offered to the Commission- ers, and will be accepted when room is provided by the erection of the new annex. A Left His Wife and Child. . Mrs. Lillie Fleming will swear out a warrant against her husband, Daniel Fleming, team- ster for Lewis & Co., on the charge of deser- tion. Yesterday Mrs. Fleming called at the office of the Soclety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children and reported that her hus- band had left herself and four-months-old babe homeless and penniless. His action was unwarranted, she said, and was probably the result of drink. For two Saturday nights he had failed to bring home his wages, and had, in fact, remained out all night. Finally ghe asked for money and he gave her $8, which was not suflicicnt to pay the installment on the furniture and buy groceries. He sold all the furniture and she has not seen him since.

Save time, money, patronize home industry by buying an assorted case of fireworks from California Fireworks Co., 219 Front strect. * already full, so liberal has been the re- | | | | I do not object to replying toa few of the statements he has made. He says women are competing in the labor market with men. “It isjmy opinion women would like to work at home, to do their cutting and weaving and spinning in their own houses, as they did a couple of generations ago, but machinery has driven them out into factories to do the very work which they could formerly do by their own hearth- stones. No orme found fault with the women of by-gone times who did spinning and weaving. To-day the place of work is changed, but the work is the same. “Away back forty years ago, when I put a resolution in a teachers' convention that women teachers should be paid as much as men, I was opposed on the ground that women would not marry if they could earn as much as men. Isaid at the time, ‘That’s 2 poor compliment to men’—but it is Dr. Fitch’s argument. He thinks the worst thing for society is for women to earn so | much that they are not compelled to marry, and assumes that women wouldn’t marry unless they find it impossible to support themselves.’” ‘“In fact, his belief seems to be that women will only marry to win_their daily bread,” remarked Rev. Anna Shaw. “As for the effect of their competition on men’s wages, even Dr. Fitch must own that in every branch of trade and business men are bet- tea paid now than they were forty years ago, before women went out into the world to work. Wages may have been higher in California, but that was merely temporary and the result of peculiar con- ditions. For the world at large, all labor is better paid now than it was forty years ago. Dr. Fitch seems to forget, too, that if the girls of a large family go out to work their money he%ps the general fund and the father’s burden is less heavy.” ‘When Miss Shaw was asked what she thought of Dr. Fitch’s declaration that she was wrong in her statistics, she intimated gently that she believed it was the war- like doctor who was wrong. *The new census report is not out yet, but the compendium for 1890 has been pub- lished, and that shows for Massachusetts that in towns of 2500 inhabitants and more the number of males was 970,877 and of females 1,033,377, giving a surplus of 62,500 females. It is a well-known fact that in the small towns and villages the propor- tion of women is even greater. The men come West or to the large cties and the women often remain at home. Dr. Fitch must have been thinking of the whole of the United States. When counting the West there may be a small preponderance of men. How about the rest of the world, though? If every woman had to marry in the British Isles they would have to prac- tice polygamy.” Miss ‘Anthony and Miss Shaw had not much to say about Dr. Fitch’s statement that they were putting money in the bank by their California tour, but their friends, who know that Miss Shaw has given up valuable lecturing engagements to come ‘West, have resented the remark. Miss Shaw, when asked about this last night, said: “Iam a lecturer, that is my profes- sion, but at the time Dr. Fitch said we were making such profits, 1 had not re- ceived a single cent for lecturing or preach- ing in California, neither hwg Miss An- thony.” 2 o suz»posu Dr. Fitch would charge a fee for setting a fractured limb,” said Miss Anthony. “It would be as unreasonable to say that a preacher must never earn a salary, as to say a lecturer must always speak gratis. However, it was not till we went into Southern California that we re- ceived a cent for speakiag here, and dur- ing the southern tour we always equall shared the proceeds of the lectures witl the Woman’s Suffrage clubs of the towns where we spoke.” “I am sorry there has been any discus- sion about us,"” said Miss Shaw. *‘I never contemplated speaking on the Fourth; in- deed, the arrangements were made while I was away, and it was our intention to have gone home lo—d:;y. However, I am not sorry I came to California. We enjoyed the congress, and weé have enjoyed the country.’" THE TIBURON WHARVES. Title to the Tide-lands on Which They Stand Settled. The Supreme Court has affirmed the de- cision of tae courts of Marin County in the suit to quiet citle to fifteen and a half acres of land upon which is now situated property of the San Francisco and North Pacific Railroad, in whose name the land stands. It wassold to the railroad by Mrs. Susan Crooks, execulrix and trustee of the estate of Matthew Crooks, but under the will it was directed that no part of the estate should be sold until the youngest child in the family should become of age. The land in question was sold long before that time, however, and the Crooks heirs brought suit to quiet title to it. The court held that as under the will Mrs. Crooks was left an undivided half of the estate, and was sole trustee of the other half for the benefit of the children, she had power to sell this small parcel, as she had an undoubted right to dispose of her own half interest in the land, and as trus- tee, had also the power to pass the title of the other interest in unimproved lands, under the terms of the will. HORTICULTURAL QUARTERS The State Board to Decide the Ques- tien of Moving at Its Next Meeting. It is not yet determined whether the State Board of Horticulture will remain in its present quarters,at 220 Sutter street, for the next fiscal year or accept the rooms which have been offered at the Mills building. A committee consisting of Mark Mec- Donald of Santa Rosa, Elwood Cooper of Santa Barbara and J. L. Mosher of San Jose has the matter under advisement, but has come to no conclusion. If the reduc- tion which has been asked by the commit- tee is made the board will probably con- tinue its headquarters where they are at resent. Otherwise it will move to the ills building. The committee will report to the board at its next meeting, which has not yet beenkcalled, and at that time action will taken. THE POLICE RETIREMENTS Captains Douglass and Stone Making a Strong Fight to Stay. Excitement in the Department Over Probable Promotions and Appointments. The excitement in police circles over the removals, promotions and appointments in the near future is steadily on thein- crease. It is understood that the promotion of sergeants to lieutenants and patrolmen to sergeants and detectives has been' left en-" tirely in the hands of Chief Crowley and nothing definite will be known as to the lucky ones until probably the next meet- ing of the Commissioners on July 10. It was looked upon as a foregone con- clusion from expressions dropped by the Commissioners that Sergeants Gillen and Wittman would fill the vacancies caused by the retirement of Captains Short and Douglass, but nothing was said as to either the successor of Captain Stone in the City Prison or who would be the ad- ditional captain for the new district. ‘Within the past few days something has occurred to show that at least one of the captains, whose retirement is requested on Ju\lvzo. does not intend to comply with the order if he can avoid it. In other words, that he is bringing all the pressure he can upon the Commissioners to have the request withdrawn. n view of Captain Douglass’ retirement the men inhis division formed a commit- tee to get up a suitable testimonial. The work was started, but was as suddeniy stopped. Then it became generally known that the captain was making a desperate fight to stay, and it would be time enough to recommence the work of getting up the testimonial after it was definitely known whether he would have to quit. It is said that the captain’s strong plea is that Captain Dunlevy has been retained, but Captain Dunlevy was not asked to re- tire. Tt is also said that Captain Stone is mak- ing a quiet, but none the less strong, fight to retain his position. What success will attend their efforts remains to be seen. Commissioner Gunst has gone to New York, and the opinion is eneral that everything was settled before giu departure as to the retirements and those who are to fill the vacancies. B . DEATH OF W. HOLLIS, He Was a Young Business Man, Pos- sessed of Rare Energy and Ex- ceptional Enterprise. Among the active young business men of San Francisco few have exerted a more powerful influence for the good of others in his efforts toward advancing the mate- rial progressof the City than William Hol- lis, who, though unassuming and mild of habit, possessed rare energy and business enterprise. A native of Iowa, born in 1839, while yeta lad, he, in company with his fatherand fam- ily, crossed the plains en route to Califor- ‘William Holli nia and arrived in 1852, locating at once in Michigan Bluff, Placer County, where they engaged successfully in the general merchandising business. In 1860 he came to San Francisco and en- gaged in the study of law under the firm of Wade & Buchanan. After varied pursuits he drifted into the real estate business and_purchased a tract of land in Castroville. He was afterward known by the cognomen of “Town Builder,” having in one year, under the auspices of the ‘‘Real Estate Associates,” of which he was the founder and manager, built and soid 800 houses, and during his connection with this association he erected 1500 dwellings, diuposin§ of them upon his system of installment plan. In 1878 “The eal Estate Associates” became financially embarrassed and failed, from the shock of which be nevery fully recovered, though hfet engaged in large transactions there- after. In 1861 he married the daughter (Sarah) of Dr. Kimball Favor of Placer County, by whom he has two children, now living, a son, who is married, and daughter, single, and these, together with the widow and & host of friends, he leaves to mourn his sad taking off. s A Mr. Hollis died suddenly at his resi- dence, “The Renton,’’ 712 Sutter street. this City, on the evening of June 24, of apo- plexy, after only four hours’ sickness, His funeral was from the Masonic Tem- le, under the auspices of Oriental Lodge g‘o; 144, F. and A. M. The impressive ser- vices according to the masonic ritual were attended by numerous friends and ac- quaintances, as well as his masonic breth- ren, the family and officers of the Placer County Association, of which he was treas-| - urer, HOW BRODERICK FIGURES, Claims a Neat Surplus Possible After the Bills Are Paid. Is THE OLD FISCAL YEAR IS DONE. The Fortunes It Has Made and the Trouble It Has Caused Are All History. The prodigal and anxious — prodigal and then anxious old fiscal year is a bit of history now. It ended on Baturday. To-day is a breathing spell. To-morrow the long- looked-forward-to future becomes the more easy going present—the beginning of the next fiscal year. To be sure the work of the old year is not all done. Very many transactions have to be rounded up and the bills of this last month especially have to be figured out and provided for before the history is completed. Still nothing more of mischief can be done in the old year than has been done, and it only remains to cast up the accounts. It has been already related how Auditor Broderick gave it as his opinion that there will be no deficit in the finances, that is to say that there will be money enough to meet all bills save the hold-over salary de- mands, provision for which must be made in the taxlevy, He draws his conclusions from the reports of the several institutions made to him, as well as from his own knowledge of the status of the city’s reve- nues. From these he has figured it out as follows: Demands to June 30, estimated audited June 27; e Passed to June 24..... Other bilis in the board.

Each county in the State is directly inter- ested in endeavoring to make the exposition of its products as great and varied as 1ts possibili- ties will permit. Nostronger advertisement of our varied and diversified “interests can be had. It will be an object lesson that cannot fail of producing good results. Unity of purpose and concert of action are the requisites to success, and I feel :suurxed in this instance the appeal will not be n vain, The railroad companies will transport at half rates, and it is to be hoj each member of your board will find it in his power to be personally present. Very respectfully. Jaxes H. Bupbp, Governor. Secretary Filcher of the State Board of Trade has learned that many of the Super- visors, even before the call was issued, fayored the movement, and will do all in their power toward ruising money for send- ing a magnificent exhibit to the South.
